Yelgun site gets state govt ‘trial’ approval Chris Dobney

Splendour in the Grass will be held at its North Byron Parklands site for the first time next year, as part of a fiveyear temporary approval granted last week by the NSW Planning Assessment Commission (PAC). The PAC claims in its report that the temporary approval, together with additional conditions it has imposed, amounts to a ‘precautionary approach’. Audience numbers have been capped at 25,000 in the first year and up to 35,000 by the fifth year – 15,000 lower than the applicants’ requested size of 50,000. Two other events will be allowed on the site each year of the trial, effectively blowing Byron Shire Council’s plan for two major music festivals per year out of the water. As with Splendour, the minor events will scale up in numbers each year. The first year will see 10,000 and 15,000 people respectively, increasing to 15,000 and 25,000 in the final year of the trial. A maximum of ten event days will be permitted each year during the trial, with a day allowed either side of the event for campers to arrive and depart.

Up to 35,000 by fifth year No event must exceed four event days. The PAC allowed for up to 25,000 campers onsite on the basis that it would reduce traffic around the festival site and other unnamed ‘potential offsite impacts’. Mat Morris, general manager of North Byron Parklands, said it was a long journey and was pleased to finally gain approval. ‘The approval means the permanent return of Splendour in the Grass to the Byron Shire. The festival will be held at Belongil Fields this year and at North Byron Parklands from 2013.’ Mr Morris added, ‘63 per cent of the site is out of bounds, set aside for nature either as protected existing vegetation or new habitat areas’.

CAB

A morning to remember

Byron Shire Council, which had hoped to reap some benefit from the site via section 94 developer contributions, had its argument flatly rejected by the PAC. ‘Section 94 contributions are not typically applied to temporary uses. The Commission also notes that section 94 contributions were not levied by the Council for prior approval on the application site or for Bluesfest at Tyagarah,’ the report reads.

No Section 94 developer contributions ‘For the above reasons, the Commission considers it is inappropriate to impose section 94 contributions for a time-limited trial. The matter can be reconsidered should the proponent lodge future development applications following the trial,’ it concludes.

and has created additional conditions to deal with these. The modified noise controls include: t #FUXFFO ŝŝBN BOE NJEOJHIU noise level measured at sensitive receivers must not exceed background plus 10dBA; t "MM TUBHFT NVTU CF TIVU EPXO BU midnight; t #BS DBGÏ BOE EBODF Ę PPST NBZ remain open until 2am, but between midnight and 2am, noise level measured outside the bedroom window(s) at sensitive receivers must not exceed background plus 5dBA; t "MM BNQMJĕ FE NVTJD NVTU DFBTF at 2am. Additionally, a noise survey must be carried out before each trial event is held to confirm the relevant background level and the information must be made available to the property owners and reported in the monitoring report. The noise control levels are to be reviewed after the first year of trial to assess their suitability and performance.

Shire may ‘struggle to cope’ with Yelgun site: mayor Luis Feliu

Opponents of the Yelgun festival site are calling for an investigation into the process which led to the approval of the development, while Byron mayor Jan Barham has slammed the five-year length of the trial ‘way too long’. Cr Barham says the decision could change the nature and character of Byron Shire, but Byron Bay’s business lobby has welcomed it, saying it will strengthen the local economy.

Business lobby welcomes announcement The Yelgun and Middle Pocket Community Association, one of the many resident groups which opposed the events site, wants a ‘thorough investigation’ of the planning-approval process, which ‘appears to be a model

being followed that rewards those with funds to lobby and position key parties in influential positions to get what they want’ in NSW. President of the group, Paul Arrowsmith, said it was ‘a sad day for the majority of residents of North Byron and southern Tweed shires’ who will be ‘massively impacted on by the approval’. Mr Arrowsmith said the coalition government had ‘ridden roughshod over residents’ wishes yet again’. ‘It would appear that the commissioners of the PAC have not listened to residents or have been dictated to for financial imperatives of the state. ‘The consultation with the proponents after the commission meetings, without a further right of reply by related parties, shows how one-sided the decision-making at government level has been.

‘The delay in handing down this decision, after being advised a month is all we would have to wait, is an indication that negotiations to secure said approval were held at the highest level of government, which we were assured would be at arms length.’ Cr Barham said the announcement would disappoint many local continued on page 3

A foreshadowed motion by 2009 soon became a platform and staff – has been brewing Crs Barham and Tabart caused a laboured and often tedious debate which saw councillors clearly divided as to whether the GM had too much control and whether staff are adequately informing councillors. ‘Things that are going on BONSOY SPECIAL AT WHOLELIFE SANTOS that we don’t know about,’ Cr Barham said, and referred to BYRON ARTS & INDUSTRY PARK the recent compliance bust on BONSOY – Organic Soya Milk Fast Buck$’s property. ‘Things like what happened of the highest quality to Mr Anderson [Fast Buck$] Manufactured and shipped prior to the are only one of a number of Japanese earthquake and Fukishima disaster circumstances and there’s been concern expressed by councilCarton of 6 x 1L ONLY $24! lors, by members of the pubuntil 11th May 2012 lic, that things go on which we don’t know about. ‘We don’t know how much for mayor Jan Barham to voice her concern for the ‘disconnect and a lack of understanding of what’s really important,’ when it came to staff ’s responses to councillors’ directives.

money and time is going [into prosecutions]. When we put things forward that are a priority to us, we are told there’s no time.’ She added that it was one of the few occasions that she agreed with Mr Anderson.

GM’s powers come from legislation But other councillors disagreed. Cr Basil Cameron said, ‘Anyone from the public can clearly understand without any ambiguity that the GM has these delegations, and they come to him from the legislation. Just because someone walks in here in the morning at public access and wants to make some sort of conspiracy theory… the subtext of everything that has been debated here is that we are somehow losing control. What a load of rubbish. Where is the evidence?’ Cr Ross Tucker added, ‘All this [approval of report] is doing is a straight administration transposing of that Act as required by the delegation. It’s not

about open transparency; it’s an internal administration document used by councillors and the GM. It’s not for the public, though they can look at it if they like. It’s not hidden and doesn’t impact on them. This [amendment by Cr Barham/Tabart] is right off the mark.’

Tempers flare Debate heated up just before lunch with a few spats between Cr Diane Woods and Buck$. Cr Woods said that what was at issue was only the last three paragraphs of the report that needed approval. ‘How the hell did we get from this to what is in front of us?’ Buck$ interrupts from the gallery with, ‘Who determines what you can or can’t debate? ‘You’re reinforcing the entire document. The whole document is up for grabs.’ Cr Woods responds with, ‘Shut up, shut up. You need to be thrown out.’ When Fast Buck$ addressed public access earlier, he said he couldn’t see how they could vote with the information in

front of them. ‘The issue is whether the GM should have unfettered discretion over who gets prosecuted and who doesn’t, or whether it is you, the elected councillors, that should take responsibility.’ He claimed a clause within Annexure 10 of the report ‘proposes that you continue to totally abdicate your responsibility to your constituents.’ Cr Barham eventually succeeded with her move, requesting the history and ‘potential for the review and reformatting’ of the GM’s delegations. More interestingly, her motion asks for the ‘implementation of the delegation in terms of how it will be applied and if there are circumstances where Council delegates this authority, eg prosecutions and legal actions or a report to Council prior to action.’ Crs Tucker, Woods and Heeson voted against it. Arrangements for the general manager’s performance review will be deferred to the end of May 2012, says Council’s agenda minutes.

A new space has opened for learning, just above the Southern Cross Credit Union on Jonson Street in Byron Bay. At a Byron United chamber of commerce business after-hours function last Thursday, the Byron Region Community College showcased its new Byron campus to forty local business operators. Director Richard Vinycomb told audience, ‘Many people in Byron Bay have already come to see us here while we have been getting fully operational, and this newly fitted space now provides a convenient alternative for administration and training to complement our recently renovated main campus in Mullumbimby’. Programs running there include information technology, retail, tourism, venue and event management, first-aid, arts, business and languages.

Richard also announced that aside from his strong commitment to local learning, the College is also part of a successful national government tender to provide professional development in sustainability to voca-

tional trainers across the Australia. ‘As well as this, we have been invited to run an exciting national conference in Byron this coming October. This is the result of a lot of years’ hard work and a recognition that we have

something special here, that also interests others outside our region, and that involves a whole bunch of experienced passionate tutors with the highest percentage of active learners to be found anywhere! It’s really great that there are so many people who recognise that adult learning is very important to the social, economic and environmental wellbeing of our communities’. Last year the College received a prestigious national award for best program. Richard added, ‘We get great feedback on the variety, availability and affordability of over 500 courses a year delivered to all ages of adults in the Byron Shire’. The new offices are in the Eastpoint Arcade in Jonson St, opposite the Woolies plaza. For more visit www.byroncollege.org.au or phone 6684 3374.

Roundhouse plan hits a snag Body recovered at Boogarem Falls Luis Feliu

The saga of the Roundhouse site development has taken another turn with the adjoining Ocean Shores Country Club pulling out of its joint venture with Byron Shire Council to subdivide the land and sell it off. Council will now go it alone to develop the 1.4-hectare hilltop block into 11 lots but will negotiate a new agreement with the club to to allow drainage and sewer easements for the subdivision and future access for two nearby country club blocks. Last Thursday, councillors overturned a staff recommendation wanting the $1.2 mil-

lion subdivision plan debated behind closed doors, but the report on the issue remains confidential. Cr Tom Tabart said the whole project had been a ‘financial disaster’ and ‘the quicker we get out the better’. Councillors voted 5–2 to negotiate a new agreement. The plan, in which council would keep two of the lots for public use, has been fought all the way by the Ocean Shores Community Association (OSCA) which wants the Orana Road site turned into an arts and cultural precinct and an historic well found there recently protected as a heritage item.

Police believe the body they found at the base of Boogarem Falls yesterday is that of missing Mullumbimby woman Krista Bernard. The 41-year-old environmental activist was last seen on Thursday after dropping her partner at work at Tunnel Road, Mullumbimby, and was reported missing on Friday. Police began a search for Ms Bernard and put out a call through media for members of the community to be on the lookout for her. Police and emergency services workers located the body near Boogarem Falls at Mount Jerusalem National Park short-

ly after 7am on Sunday. In 2000, Ms Bernard was named Australian Geographic’s Young Adventurer of the Year after cycling from Indonesia to Egypt. She was a strong supporter of the Mullumbimbybased charity Rainforest Rescue and kept a blog of her rides at www.ridehimalaya.com/ kristabike.html. Inquiries into the woman’s death continue and a report will be prepared for the coroner. Anyone with information about the woman’s death is asked to contact Byron Bay Police or Crime Stoppers 1800 333 000. Q See obituaries on page 42

The Northern Rivers Social Development Council (NRSDC) says more needs to be done to help low-income regional residents cope with increasing power bills. The Independent Regulatory and Pricing Tribunal (IPART) has recommended an average bill increase of $381 from July this year in regional areas, on top of recent increases. The rises are to cover the cost of maintaining poles and wires and the generators’ carbon tax payments. NRSDC chief Tony Davies has called on all levels of government to do their bit to ensure poorer people are not disadvantaged. ‘Incomes in this area are only two-thirds of incomes in Sydney,’ he told ABC local radio.

residents. ‘Our region already has significant impacts from large visitor numbers, both positive and negative. Council’s preferred approached was to have a one-year trial, review the event and progress slowly with the support of residents. ‘Five years can not be considered a “trial� and has the potential to create immediate negative impacts for local residents and place stress on infrastructure and the environment without the ability to make changes or rectify.’ Mayor Barham said Council was not opposed to music festivals, but has tried to balance the social, environmental and economic outcomes for the benefit of the whole community, not just some. ‘The attraction of coming to a festival is the fact that it is in Byron Shire. The word Byron is a very powerful marketing tool and more visitors mean greater visitor needs.

Struggle to cope ‘Residents and visitors alike appreciate the Shire’s low-development and nature-oriented character. ‘The impact of large numbers of visitors has the potential to add significant extra pressures that our Shire will struggle to cope with,’ she said. Council’s executive manager of planning, Ray Darney, said the state’s takeover of the approval process from Council was one of the most disappointing aspects of the whole process, only made worse by the PAC not levying developer contributions. Other groups or individual developers have to pay the fees but now the shire misses out on up to $1.27 million which could have otherwise been levied. Mr Darney said the PAC only assessed large developments but ‘these are the very ones that have the most potential to impact on the Byron www.echo.net.au

Shire community’. He said the approval had caused an ‘anomaly’ with the shire’s proposed events policy limiting the number of major festivals to two a year. He said the planning department had allowed Council to proceed with a gateway amendment on the Local Environmental Plan (LEP) ‘knowing full well that it had the Yelgun Festival development application before it, which would exceed the proposed LEP amendment events clause’. ‘We now potentially have more than two major music events each year as outlined under Council’s events policy and the proposed LEP amendment. He said that any new large music events would now ‘need to make their event a state-significant event’ in order to take it to the PAC for approval and Council could not approve it under current policy and planning guidelines. ‘The state has effectively encouraged large events to take up residence in Byron Shire,’ he said.

such an ignoring of a court decision could not happen now. ‘We do not believe that the much-touted employment and “tourism benefits� will compensate the community for the impact on their lives that this will in any way compensate the wildlife of the nearby nature reserve and corridor,’ the spokesperson said. By the time the trial ends in five years, ‘we expect that considerable damage to the local residential amenity and the environment will have been done’. Byron United (chamber of

commerce) head Paul Waters said the approval ‘flies in the face’ of the shire’s events policy and would make it ‘almost impossible to get that amended because of the state approval as well as the current backlash and petition’. ‘We’re absolutely thrilled it’s finally through. The north Byron site is going to be different; it will take pressure off the Byron Bay community in terms of traffic congestion. ‘We absolutely need things like this to keep our businesses vibrant,’ he said.

Court ignored The Coalition for Festival Sanity said it was surprised that the PAC supported the planning department’s decision to ignore the Land and Environment Court’s ruling of 2009 which declared Byron Council’s approval of a trial festival (at the Yelgun site) invalid. A spokesperson said the proposed building of a road for festival use in an environmental habitat zone was not then allowed, but under the controversial Part 3A process, the department did not have to consider it and ‘chose to ignore it in recommending that the project be approved and the PAC agreed’. ‘This undermining of the court’s decision is disturbing, regardless of what one thinks of the Yelgun proposal. Part 3A has been declared defunct by the current government, and

Rollers get the nod for sports complex use damaging the floor surface and void the warranty offered. Later advice from the floor supplier said roller skating was acceptable and the warranty would not be affected for the proposal. But staff said the supplier also advised that from their experience, roller skates wore the floor more than other sports and council may need to maintain it more.

A howl of delight greeted a move by Byron Shire Council to allow its brand new sports complex to be used for roller derby competition, despite concerns roller blades may damage its brand new timber floor. The Bay Rollers roller derby squad had recently applied to use the auditorium for training and competition but due to concerns of their impact, councillors asked staff for a report. Councillors last week backed the report’s recommendation for inviting use of the facility by the group, subject to ongoing monitoring of the floor to ensure damage to the floor did not void its warranty or increase maintenance costs. Members of the roller squad in the public gallery greeted the decision with applause.

Ironically, council is replacing the existing sprung timber floor with a harder laminated surface after defects were found in the workmanship of the original timber floor.

Staff said the contractor initially argued against the use by roller bladers due to the ‘perceived aggressive nature of the roller blades’ and advised such use carried a high risk of

They also said that as the potential replacement cost of the floor was $250,000, any damage or excessive wear could cost council dearly and the facility manager would have to ensure it was thoroughly monitored for damage. Council will set a specific fee for the facility’s roller derby use to take account of higher cleaning and maintenance costs.

Vale Mo Hughes

Multiple occupancy refused

Longtime homeless-child advocate Mo Hughes passed away last Friday. Mo had been suffering from heart failure for several years and in recent times had become very ill. Born Maureen Gwendoline Moseley in Newcastle on February 17, 1943, Mo, as she was fondly known by all, was well known in the area for her work with children and as the founder of KOTS (Kids Off The Streets). The mother of Stewart and two sets of twins Catherine and Louise (deceased), and Maya and Nandy, Mo had a capacity to love many children. It is said that she returned to Sydney within a year of arriving in the Byron shire 25 years ago, and brought to the area 11 streets kids from the city to live with her and her youngest daughters in a one-bedroom cabin in Main Arm. One of Mo’s last wishes was to see the river at Brunswick Heads; her daughter Catherine and son Stewart made the last farewell trip with her on Fri-

A plan for a seven-dwelling multiple occupancy (MO) on a Broken Head property has been knocked back by Council. The seven owners of the 18-hectare site zoned for environmental protection on Seven Mile Beach Road had sought to boost the number of dwellings on the property from four to seven and the lifting of a ban on buildings outside authorised envelopes. Spokesman for the Bunjum community which owns the site, Darren Webber, told councillors last week that changes to the environmental zonings under the Local Environment Plan (LEP) in 1997 had been ‘very restrictive’ allowing only four dwellings and some of the owners had been forced to ‘live in tents and sheds’ as a result. But their neighbour, former North Coast MLC Ian Cohen, described the move as ‘a land grab’ and he held serious concerns over it. Mr Cohen said he was not against MOs, but concerns from this one included illegal development over the

day morning. ‘When we got home she was exhausted but had the biggest smile on her face’, said daughter Catherine. ‘She has seen the river and she had seen her garden.’ Mo died soon after with her son and daughter by her side. ‘She has touched so many hearts and helped so many’,’ said Catherine. ‘Not only her family but throughout the entire community’. Mo will be sadly missed by her children and three grandchildren. A memorial service will be held at Torakina Park in Brunswick Heads on Thursday from 1pm.

years and ‘severely destructive’ road works and clearing of rainforest trees. All councillors except Diane Woods voted to ask the owners to amend their plan to provide for four dwellings on the most appropriate building envelopes, deferring the current development application (DA) for the MO until that was determined.

MP slams Ballina Council over land sale

Would you like to live or work in Australia? LINDSAY WOOTTEN

Luis Feliu

An Upper House MP has blasted Ballina Shire Council’s recent controversial decision to sell two beachfront blocks of land at Lennox Head to the adjoining state-government owned caravan park. During a visit to Lennox Head on Sunday, Greens MLC David Shoebridge said the proposed sale typified what was happening up and down the NSW coast, ‘as the state government looked to expand the commercial interests of its property portfolio and redevelop its caravan parks’.

Against wishes of community ‘What’s different about this case is that Ballina Council is initiating the sale against the expressed wishes of the local community,’ Mr Shoebridge said. ‘Where is the future vision and planning for this popular location? The Council should be keeping strategic land holdings to provide future amenity. Ballina mayor Phil Silver used his casting vote recently to push the sale ahead when the vote to sell the two blocks in Ross Street to the Lake Ainsworth Caravan Park for $1.3 million was tied. A later rescission motion also failed to overturn the decision.

Deputy premier Andrew Stoner now has the final say on whether the sale goes ahead. Last week, a move for council to allocate the proceeds of the sale to the future redevelopment of the nearby Alstonville and Lennox Head Surf Club failed by one vote. But councillors then unanimously backed another move for council to find out how much funding was needed to have the surf club redevelopment ‘shovel ready’, including planning consent. At a meeting with North Coast Greens at the Lennox

Head Community Centre, Mr Shoebridge was presented with a petition with over 1,000 signatures calling for the sale to be stopped and the land reclassified as community land to provide much needed public amenity for the area. Mr Shoebridge said he would table the petition in parliament and ask Mr Stoner if he was aware the local community was against the sale, ‘and whether the state government was going to spend taxpayers’ dollars buying council land against the residents’ concerns’. ‘Don Page, as the local mem-

ber and minister for the north coast should step in and stop the sale,’ he said. But Mr Page has already dismissed the call, saying it was ultimately a decision of council. Petition organiser, Ballina Greens’ Cr Jeff Johnson, said it was vital for council to hold onto the blocks of land to cater for an expected doubling of the population there in the next 20 – 30 years. ‘Everyone comes down here, to swim in the lake and surf at the beach. It makes no sense to sell these blocks of land to allow for the expansion of the caravan park,’ he said.

Bringing Lennox Head Surf Club back to life Remy Tancred

Local businesses and private individuals have come to the rescue of the Lennox Head Surf Club, which has been out of commission for over two years due to the condition of the kitchen and toilets. The club, which is perched on the beach at Lennox Head and boasts some of the best views on the coast, used to be a vibrant venue, popular with locals for weddings, parties and community events. But for the past few years it has been lying dormant and largely unused. Now locals have rallied around the popular local venue, and come up with nearly enough funds to get her up

and running again. According to Surf Club president Wayne Jones, it has been a very frustrating time for the club. ‘We used to be able to generate a significant stream of income from hiring the club facilities out and this money went back into its upkeep.

$10,800 raised so far ‘For the past few years we have been relying on bits and pieces of fundraising and it has meant that there has not been enough to carry out the very important works that need doing,’ he said. Before it is allowed to open its doors for business again, the Club requires a completely new commercial-grade kitchen and six new toilets, estimated to

cost around $15,000. And, thanks to the donations of locals, those funds are about to become available. ‘We have been given $10,800 so far,’ said Mr Jones, ‘which means we are only just over $4000 short of our target. ‘For their contribution, each business will have their name painted on the wall of the Surf Club, so that everyone knows who is responsible for bringing it back to life, and giving it back to the community that treasured it so much over the years,’ Mr Jones said. The donors are: The Golden Oldies Rugby Union Club, Somerville Laundry Lomax (Ballina), The Professionals Real Estate (Ballina), Taylor Byrne (Ballina), Mulcahy

Lawyers, Tony Gilding (The Macadamia Castle), Holmes & Partners Chartered Accountants, Newcastle Permanent, The Lennox Wave, Sports Point Physiotherapy (Ballina), Lennox Head Indoor Bowlers and Colleen Moulder (private resident Lennox Head). ‘These donations mean that we should see her open for business again by this summer,’ Mr Jones added.

Activists prepare to set sail

Emmy’s talent seen on TV

Activist Dean Jefferys is preparing an adventure/campaign from Byron Bay to Cairns with a flotilla of yachts to raise awareness of marine conservation. He told The Echo the flotilla plans to leave Byron Bay at the beginning of June and sail with the humpback whales during their northern migration up the east coast of Australia to Hervey Bay, the Great Barrier Reef and onto Cairns by the end of November. ‘The fleet will do shows at large ports along the way, which will include presenting films, talks, music and workshops while at the same time exploring and exposing local issues to media and the huge online audience this journey will attract.’ The trip will also coincide with national Whale Day on June 2 and and an event with the local Sea Shepherd group. ‘I’ve also set up a page at the Singer-songwriter Emmy Rose Sorensen is the latest addition to the Byron lineup on TV’s Australia’s Got Talent.

Change 2012 and Beyond.’ He says the journey will also include interactive multimedia. ‘By utilising social and traditional media and direct contact, the Flotilla intends to inform and inspire people on the direction humanity needs to travel in 2012 and into the future. Each yacht will represent themes of issues we would like to bring awareness to and change, eg climate change, whaling, ocean health, Indigenous issues, herb freedoms, deforestation, yoga lifestyle and health issues, Mayan calendar, peace, social and environmental issues etc.’ Musician Nathan Kaye will be launching Sailing 2012 and Beyond on Thursday May 3 from 4pm, with a live streaming event from the Migaloo 2 in Brunswick Heads boat harbour.

Swimmers intending to compete in the 25th annual Beach Hotel Ocean Swim Classic are reminded that entries close at midnight Friday May 4. There will be no entries taken on race weekend, which is Saturday May 5 and Sunday 6. Postal entries close at end of business Thursday May 3 and online entries close midnight on Friday May 4. Entries will be taken in person on Friday at the Surf Club from 3pm to 5pm. The Elite Superfish category has been boosted by the entries of 17 swimmers from a Swimming Australia camp being held on the Gold Coast. There also has been interest shown by a few of the Iron Man/Woman series competitors and the winner of the female section of the latest Rottnest Island Channel Race. 2012 Olympic team member and six-time winner, Melissa Gorman, will be trying to make this year’s Classic her fourth win in a row.

Mr Noble is not the determining authority of whether an event will meet the criteria. I find this extremely disappointing given that I have had that discussion previously. She added, ‘Byron Council has a really proud record of dealing with Aboriginal people, including supporting the Arakwal through their Indigenous land rights agreements.’ ‘To have a statement like this – without any framework or decision being made – is really distressing.’

the Superfish, two-time winner Trent Grimsey and his brother, Codie, who won last year, are also competing. Check-ins start on Sunday morning at the Surf Club from 7am and close at 9am. Blanch’s Bus Service will be providing transport around to the start at Wategos Beach for competitors that do not wish to take the stroll around along the beach, which is a social event in itself.

Westpac Mini-swim The little sister to the longer race is the Westpac Mini-swim, being run for the fifth year. Designed for the novice, the nervous and the nippers, the swim’s starting age is nine years. There are quite a few of our more senior swimmers stepping-back to the 800m distance of the Mini. Money raised goes to selected charities and local organisations. Full details and entry portals can be found on the event’s web-site www.byronbayoceanswimclassic.com.au.

Slipper and the Monk a dynamic duo

t’s a truly terrible realisation, but the person most like Peter Slipper in the current Australian parliament is none Volume 26 #46 May 1, 2012 other than Tony Abbott. You don’t, or at least don’t want to, believe this? Then, as Gough Whitlam might say, compare and contrast. The climate change debate has reached biblical proportions. Both are vigorous men in What that means is that it’s now pursued with religious fervour, their fifties, highly ambitious and often teeters on the evangelical. Climate change is so divisive it and committed politicians. means that emotions run high, so let’s call it being enviromotional. Both went to exclusive schools With a topic this complex it is no surprise; climate science can and on to university to study never be definitive, nor can sceptics claim to know any better. This was demonstrated on last Thursday’s Q&A and climate change law. Both are now conservative documentary on ABC TV.

Well, true; but this was only because a heavier candidate, the former Howard minister Mal Brough, wanted his seat. It had very little to do with the many allegations of rorting and misconduct which Abbott and his colleagues had known about, and studiously ignored, for at least six years. Now suddenly they have become hanging offences. As a boxer, Abbott was forced to abide by Queensberry rules but he has abandoned them in his single-minded desire to Sink the Slipper. No, not quite single minded: he would also like to stomp Craig Thomson, a comparative stranger but another who is standing in the way of Abbott’s overweening ambition. And his relentless pursuit of both is at least starting to pay off: the media have responded to Abbott’s campaign to such an extent that Julia Gillard has been forced to abandon her commitment to the presumption of innocence and sideline them both.

when that august institution needs all the help it can get. But just who is responsible for dragging the place down? Sure, the buck starts with Slipper and Thomson, who are obviously seriously unlovable individuals. But if they are actually guilty of anything more than that, it is up to the law to deal with them. Neither can be forced to leave parliament except through death, resignation or conviction on a serious criminal charge. And the accusations against them, which in both cases seem to have been activated initially by personal malice rather that a commitment to the public interest, are certainly serious, but they hardly amount to crimes against humanity. Slipper did not organise the Sandakan death march and Thomson was not in charge of the My Lai massacre. And yet the parliament, and even more culpably the socalled quality press, have been utterly obsessed with the affair for what seems like forever. In one breath the editorials lament the lack of genuine policy debate in Australia; in the next they salivate over whatever new suggestion of lowgrade sleaze the muckrakers can conjure up. We deserve better. There are real problems, and uncertainties, facing the country, and in this wider context the goings on of Slipper and Thomson – unless and until they actually bring down the government – don’t matter a rat’s arse. And I know, I’ve spent the last thousand words joining in the wallowing – but only to point out how silly it all is. I won’t do it again. Trust me, I’m a journalist.

ling hypocrisy. He was a member of John Howard’s government in 1996, when the prime minister lured Labor’s Mal Colston to rat in the senate with the offer of the Deputy President’s job. Colston accepted, but was forced to stand down from the chair when his former party brought allegations of rorting his travel allowances against him – sound familiar? But unlike Slipper in the House of Representatives, Colston still had a deliberative vote in the senate. For a while Howard virtuously rejected it, but then found he needed it and grabbed it – at a time when Colston, unlike Slipper or Thomson, had actually been charged with defrauding the government and was awaiting trial. Howard’s excuse? Well, the man was entitled to the presumption of innocence, wasn’t he?

Residents overtaken by events Q All the bleating from those desperately trying to boost their ailing business models by flooding Byron Shire with mega music festivals is so disingenuous. By enlisting hordes of ‘groovers’ to support their quest for unlimited access to ply their carnival-style trade, against the wishes of a small regional/rural shire, is contemptible. These large festivals employ large numbers of flyin-fly-out staff and leave a few paltry crusts for eager locals who are happy to direct traffic, empty toilets and clean the venues used. They do not generate enough sustainable employment or dollars for the inconvenience and cost to our Shire.

isn’t an option. It’s obvious our future lies in tourism. Without it there’s nothing here for the kids – no work, no future. Tourists love us the way we are, get it? Why don’t we provide accommodation and infrastructure and welcome them to enjoy this fantastic place that drew all of us here? However, there is one issue regarding festivals: volunteers. While tens of thousands are buying tickets, these events seem to rely on armies of unpaid (and uninsured) volunteers. Which means the money is going into the pockets of a greedy few opportunists – not into the wider local economy. We need Fair Work Australia to crack down on unscrupulous operators for the sake of the community, while overall as a shire we need to figure a path to the future and how to make it work, and stop whining about inevitable change.

The restrictions are reasonable, especially given that they reflect Council’s Events Policy of 2010, which was put in place after thorough community consultation. Denise Nessel

would be a great travesty of faith that the broader community have in Council for them to buckle under the vociferous misinformation campaign against the inclusion of Council’s Events Policy into the LEP. The vast majority of locals want some form of limit and common sense to prevail. The vast majority of residents do not want to be inundated with unlimited mega festivals in the Shire. The last time I spoke directly ocean. But for all-round benefits in terms of training, health and fitness, family and fun, the Petria Thomas Pool is a great facility. Mullum’s lucky to have it. Shame it’s shut nearly half the time. To heat the pool in the winter months using sustainable solar technology would certainly cost a bit, but think of the rewards. Plenty of us know all we need to know about the benefits of swimming – like most of the Shire’s doctors and other health workers, the PDHPE schoolteachers, the professional swim coaches, the mums, dads, kids, to say nothing of us old folk! All of us have over the years made submissions of one kind or another to keep the pool

with the Mullum festival organisers they said that they would not be exceeding 6,000 punters per day. If this has changed and they would like to exceed that number then there has to be some form of negotiation that would include residents’ limits – note that I said limits, not concerns. The same for any potential addition to the Bluesfest – the site that Peter Noble stated in the beginning would ‘only ever have one festival per year’. The local residents within a 5km radius are the ones who should have the final say. So while I think there has to be some flexible consideration given to (especially) homegrown festivals to expand I condemn this campaign to eliminate the policy in favour of a festival ‘free-for-all’ that Noble and Splendour are seeking through an internet campaign that lists 90 per cent head-bangers from the city as their signatories. Between our homes and their profits I know where I stand any day of the week. Get a bloody grip!

Q Fast Buck$, why have you plucked out thine eye? (Letters, April 24.) It is you who is showing a one-eyed view of the street-camping pestilence afflicting our neighbourhoods. I put it to you that you are promoting a very unsafe, unsavoury practice on our road reserves. You are seeking to empower freeloaders to set up camp in some instances only a few feet from the public road where vehicles of all sizes travel at speed. Young people, old people, even children, are camping out in such a fashion, with no proper lighting, amenities or setback from the roads. This is more often than not campervans from the economy to high-end RVs. This is not the poor and destitute. These are freeloaders pure and simple who just don’t want to pay their $15 per night at a legitimate campground. And they are now becoming so brazen that many simply leave all their rubbish behind, poo in the grass and pee on the sidewalk. It is all rather pathetic and I sense a certain political cynicism around that would gloat

as the town is swallowed by the disrespectful hordes – better that than the filthy rich, eh. Your legal advice is particularly dodgy and irresponsible. We all have common law rights to traverse public road reserves but that does not imply that any activity can be undertaken in these public places with impunity. Street-camping is a health and safety issue; it degrades the local amenity and it is just plain lousy – more power to the rangers.

continued from page 11

It is obvious to all and sundry that a tourist business is being operated from these houses. This is in a residential zoning. I understood after talking to Ralph that the owners are contesting not that they cater to tourists but the definition of the word ‘facility.’ Ralph explained to me that he understands that these people, from Melbourne, will maintain that they are not operating a tourist facility because there is no concierge or on-site resident. If this is true, this would be a travesty of justice being sought. Indeed, it has been the intention of the community to support bed and breakfast businesses that specifically have on-site resident persons as their operators. The continued operation of the business would be a slap in the face of the community and the intent of the law, which is to keep residential areas for permanent residences and tourist businesses within zonings that specifically permit them. You can do something about this. The Byron Shire Council will spend a lot of money to test a definition, a term in a paragraph in a subsection of the law. Well, you are in the government.

don’t put blame on our minority green council for approving the proposal. In fact, two of the four Greens councillors voted against the project. Its passing received the votes of three nonGreens. As the Shire begins to gear up for the September 8 Council elections it’s important letter writers, and the letters editor, ensure misleading or untrue information does not colour the facts voters will vote on.

Byron Bay Q I refer to the letter ‘Nothing illegal about street-camping’ (April 24). This citizen has provided Byron Shire Council – Faulkner, James, Barham and all councillors – with free legal advice (ie provided copies of all relevant laws citing references for legislative laws) on numerous occasions. General manager Graeme Faulkner responded with the assertion that Council does not accept free legal advice from individuals – preferring to pay anonymous solicitors thousands of dollars for legal advice that is in my opinion bogus.

Despite numerous requests, Faulkner and Ralph James (manager governance) have failed to provide the names of those who provided the ratepayer-funded ‘legal advice’ to Council, cited by Ralph James as justification for his delusional assertions that Council may prohibit a person from doing anything in a public place under Section 632 of the Local Government Act – including sleeping in vehicles – and that Council may apply a ‘new definition’ of ‘camping’ in relation to accusing a person of an offence. Ask yourself: what has been the dollar value of Council employees attempting to obtain the unobtainable, including ratepayer-funded trips to Sydney lobbying the state parliament to legislate that which cannot be legislated under provisions of the Australian Constitution. The ratepayers funded every second of Council time spent on the ‘vanpacker’ saga – including the time spent by anonymous solicitors who allegedly provided the bogus ‘legal advice’ cited by Ralph James.

Thank you, Fast Buck$, for confirming that which any person with an iota of intelligence should have been capable of ascertaining without the need for Council to engage the expensive services of an anonymous lawyer. To those whipping up the ‘vanpacker’ saga with their delusional bleating that Council should acquire the powers of the Gestapo: if you don’t feel like a sucker, you should. I have slept in my vehicle – lawfully parked in the CBD of Byron Bay – nearly every night (and often during the day for a ‘nanna nap’) for more than two years, and often directly under the Council signage that illegally threatens ‘sleeping in vehicles at any time prohibited – fines apply’. Not once has Council issued a penalty notice to this ‘car-sleeper’ for ‘sleeping in a vehicle’ or ‘camping’. I believe that is because Faulkner, James, Barham and councillors know, should they wave that red flag, that I would sue them as individuals abusing the power of their office.

You can save us a lot of money and trouble by passing a brief amendment to the law. You can do this quickly and of course easily as you guys control both Houses. Why not? Indeed, why not ask a local council exactly what an effective amendment should say? I am certain Mr James can tell you at a reasonable price. People need housing. We also need justice.

Life saving reform Following up on my previous letter in which I was critical of the performance of Byron Bay surf lifesavers, I was pleased to note that last Sunday (April 22), of the ten lifesavers in attendance on Main Beach, four of them were actually spread out along the beach watching bathers. Although they still only covered about 100 metres in the immediate vicinity of the flags, this is a welcome development. The next logical step would be for them to spread themselves out even further over more of the long beach, thus providing a proper lifesaving service for the frequently not very well

I wrote to Israeli ambassador Yuval Rotem asking for a visa, but as usual I never received a reply.

Solar moving faster than nuclear as energy alternative As author of a book on energy, Martin Nicholson in his April 24 letter has made remarkably uninformed comments on the Zero Carbon Australia (ZCA) plan. The plan shows one path for Australia to 100 per cent renewable energy. By making Australia a leader in renewable energy it would support our prosperity and help ensure a world in which we and our grandchildren could enjoy it. The plan’s costing was based on a conservative analysis of existing technology. It will make the cost of electricity

cheaper than it would be with continued reliance on increasingly expensive fossil fuel. The fact that nearly all second-generation nuclear plants may still be operating says nothing about the political or economic ability to build lots more of them! Third-generation plants are being built in China and the US, he says. Does that confirm that Matthew Wright is right – none has been built? The ZCA plan includes a small percentage of PV with battery storage such as for offgrid power. Here it is gener-

ally not more expensive than the alternatives and will get cheaper. (As well, installed grid-connected solar is already reducing the price of electricity for everyone just as it has done in Germany because it reduces costs from expensive peaking generators.) But ZCA never proposed to use solar PV with battery storage to replace coal plants. The plan showed that it could be done with a combination of widely scattered wind and solar thermal power with cheap hot molten salt storage (thus providing better than baseload

power), along with a reconfigured grid, efficiency, fuel shifting and transport changes. Nuclear certainly cannot provide emission-free energy in Australia within ten years, nor on a global level on any time scale relevant to stabilising our climate. It is too costly, slow and dangerous. It would be a terrible investment to try, wasting money that could build infrastructure (solar, wind, wave etc) to harness energy from essentially free and inexhaustible fuel.

secution of Palestinians. The well-meaning Greens (and ALP) councillors in Marrickville who adopted and then abandoned BDS had not thought through the inappropriateness and huge administrative ramifications of this at a local government level. It opened them and the Green Party up to a vicious media campaign which probably lost us the state seat and thus reduced our effectiveness in prosecuting the Palestinian cause. This is not to say that some form of sanctions (some from the BDS list) should not be employed but would need to be better targeted; for instance sporting isolation was a big factor for SA while cultural measures may be more effective in Israel. Harsha may like to reflect that the Greens and he have a common aim and strategy and that differences in tactics are matters for consultation, not

However, I probably wouldn’t get past Ben Gurion airport, being deported without charge like the 1,200 international ‘Welcome to Palestine’ activists who planned to attend peaceful events in the West Bank. Finally, George claims my accusations carry little intelligence unless I predicate them on ‘concrete and irrefutable proof ’. All my letters refer to publicly available information, so I can only refer him to my last week’s letter and to the reports on Palestine by Oxfam, the Middle East Monitor, the United Nations Works and Relief Agency, Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, Al-Haq, B’Tselem and the writings of Ilan Pappe, Amira Hass, Gideon Levy, Jeff Halper, Norman Finkelstein and my good

Byron Bay Q Harsha Prabhu has chosen to criticise his allies in the Palestinian cause because of differences over support for the Boycott Disinvestments and Sanctions (BDS) tactic (Letters, April 24) Probably not a smart approach considering that such a high-profile critic of Israel as Noam Chomsky doubts the efficacy of BDS and many liberal Israelis also question its value. The success of sanctions against South African apartheid is cited as a model for this approach but Israel is not SA and those sanctions had widespread global support – an essential factor not currently existing while the USA allows Israel carte blanche in its per-

Martin Nicholson’s letter last week promoting nuclear power does not have to be taken very seriously. PV solar panels are halving in price every couple of years and nuclear power is being priced off the planet. Combine that with MIT’s /Tata’s forthcoming cheap electro-catalytic water splitting to produce and store hydrogen, and/or proposed sodium batteries to store electricity, and we will soon have carbon-free energy coming out our ears.

Bright discourse among a murder of crows on watch equivalent of the mighty mammalian forebrain, the cortex. This ends one hundred years of derogatory comments such as ‘bird brains’ or ‘featherheads’. Science writer David Abram writes about bird thoughts, especially those of corvids. In his latest book Becoming Animal, he labels their communications ‘discourses’. Although the original Latin means ‘running to and fro’, he uses the modern definition: talking about relations between objects. So, from the corner of my eye, I watch these crows as I take photos of other sights. The two men leave in one car and one in the other. One crow sings out. Two land where the men stood. One watches as the other lifts the rubbish left behind. As I leave the hilltop, there’s another racket. I look ahead and up. In the moment we are all watching each other, I use my camera.

All six are in the international group Corvids, a name taken from Greek and Latin for ‘crow’ or ‘raven’. To organise the confusion, taxonomists sort them by geographic areas. But boundaries mean ‘nevermore’ to these birds. What matters most, for them and us,

is how they behave. Watch any ‘murder of crows’. This collective noun likely refers to the way some eat. In addition to gleaning grains or insects, they scavenge dead animals. They are blamed for dead lambs but they are more likely to be taking advantage

of a death than causing it. This gossip means corvids are an unprotected native species in most of NSW, though they are protected in Queensland. One bird will call to its longterm partner and announce the location of a carcass. As breeding couples often live

in extended family groups, a crowd of relatives may appear in response. Perhaps this led to another label for corvid groups: a ‘conspiracy of crows’. In rural areas, the group polices a territory of a kilometre or more. In town, where there is more action, the range can be smaller. Is this what is meant by a ‘constable of crows’? Corvids are as brilliant as any famous detectives. They recognise landscapes in great detail. They cache food for later. They know if they are being watched and will distract and deceive observers. They understand their image in a mirror is not another bird. They use tools. They fill a pitcher with stones to raise the level of the water so they can take a drink. Recently, they learned to turn over cane toads and eat them from the belly, avoiding the poison glands on top. In 2008, a study led by Erich Jarvis relabeled a major structure in the brains of birds. This nidopallium is the avian

than just be recorded. Do we need bars open to 4am? Really? Is it not more in our interest to see drink sales stop at midnight? Wow, that will cost four or five people a lot of money, better not say that. Yeah, okay, the violence would stop, but what about all that money! In the meantime, if the police want to calm things down they should leave the sniffer dog at home because they are trying to arrest the most peaceful people on the street. It is ironic that the drug that makes people fight, rape and vandalise is legal while the one that makes people giggle, eat junk food and dance like silly buggers is illegal. Yep, it is just obvious, but that doesn’t seem to matter. Another victory for Big

Walking up to the hilltop is the finish to my day of office work. The activity clears my head of all those voices in the writings I study and rewards me with a 360˚ view. I always bring my camera. At this sunset, I meet some others: three young men, standing outside two cars. In that subtle way we humans have, we all agree to ignore each other and avoid eye contact. But there is no such allowance made by the others. From the highest possible perches, flapping and shouting, crows blab my arrival. Large black Australian birds with white eyes are called ravens or crows. There are three species of each. The differences are not so much in size, which varies. Gary Opit, a local wildlife specialist, explains that crow neck feathers lie smooth under its bill as it calls out with a short ‘ark, ark’. Ravens have larger fluffy ones that shake open as it makes a longer cry ‘ah ah aaaah’. want to go to outer space and start mining other planets. How insidious does that sound – not satisfied with mining our planet but want to ruin other planets, sorry asteroids? The only reason for their proposal would be to create more wealth. There is no limit to this greed.

The question of sanity

Is Anders Breivik sane? This seems to be the main focus of his trial so that society knows how to deal with him. But what does this mean? Is he fit to stand trial? Obviously. Are we asking the right question? I think not. Breivik is demonstrating logical consistency within his ‘Weltanschauung’, his view of the world, and his motto might well be ‘whatever it takes’. (Where have we heard that before?). In his own headspace he is an honourable, brave crusader who had to sacrifice his loving kindness to do what needed to be done – kind of like a virtuous politician who couldn’t kill a cane toad but sends his/her youth across the world to fight expedient wars. The question should not be ‘Is he sane?’. On trial should be the context in which his thinking is done and to what degree are we responsible for our religious/cultural imprinting. We are watching the tectonic plates of religion, tribalism, free market self-interest, etc grinding against each other. The hot spots show where the underground tensions manifest. Rather than focusing on an individual it is here that world courts should be examining the contexts, the logical www.echo.net.au

What a waste

I thought I’d take my daughter out to kick the footy around last Sunday, so I took a trip to the now defunct and abandoned Byron Bay sports field, and couldn’t help thinking that a 17 million dollar complex couldn’t afford an architect. What a wasted opportunity to build something beautiful in the Bay. Oh and by the way I didn’t get the Sherrin out – the park was a foot under water. Mark Newhouse

Alcohol the problem

It is just so freaking obvious – the problem in Byron Bay at night is alcohol. CCTV cameras are just a new way to get ringside at the Friday Night Fights. In fact, wouldn’t it be fun if we could have live webcams like the surf cams on Coastalwatch? I wonder if the fights could be sponsored by Canadian Club – the drink of the A League? Maybe we could even get some online betting. If the action isn’t great enough, then betting and advertising could sponsor cheaper grog. Or, we could assume that Byron residents are tired of the obvious and would just prefer to have the aggro stop rather

NOT ‘TIME LORD’ BUT CHIROPRACTIC REGENERATION

6680 9991

Many people think ‘chiropractic’ when they encounter back pain. It is true that we can often bring quick relief to back pain in simple conditions; however, pain is often an advanced indicator, or symptom, in a condition that has been developing over weeks, months or years. The body grows and maintains itself, replacing old cells with new ones and repairing tissues. Thus the body is in a constant state of regeneration. Doctor Who (of the TV series) does regeneration in a more dramatic way but we do it by a consistent process. Thus, how we live, mentally, physically, and chemically, consistently affects the structure of the body we occupy. When you enter chiropractic corrective care your body’s structure regenerates in response to the new upright posture that we help you to create with adjustments to your body, mind, and spirit.

I teach my patients how to cure themselves of their existing pain, and how to prevent future pain.’ Patients wait months and travel hundreds of miles to spend ninety minutes with Sarah. It has been said ‘If she’s good enough for the Queen, then she’s good enough for me!’

TALKS BACK Self Treat Your Back Lecture & Workshop SARAH ’S EASY TO FOLLOW METHOD EQUIPS BACK SUFFERERS WITH LIFETIME SKILLS TO SELF TREAT THEIR OWN BACK.

Sarah Key, internationally acclaimed master physiotherapist, is pleased to announce her Australian debut ‘Talks Back’ series to the community of Byron Bay.

With clinics in London and Sydney, Sarah has been treating the Prince of Wales and the British Royal Family for over 30 years. Her rare appearance offers you the convenience of not having to wait months for an appoinment or travel long distances, as well as paying only 1/6 her normal fees for a ninety minute session. “Visualising what is happening inside the back makes it much more logical and easy to see why Sarah Keyʼs exercises really do work.

What did that five years out give you as an artist that you now bring to your music?

Sydney-based group The Vampires bring their distinctive blend of South American music, reggae, and original jazz to Harvest Cafe at Newrybar for a special Blue Birdy performance on Sunday. The Vampires have received critical acclaim and developed an ability to make people dance. They feature compositions by saxophonist Jeremy Rose and trumpeter Nick Garbett. They are joined by the powerful and dynamic rhythm section of double bassist Alex Boneham and drummer Alex Masso. The Vampires’ music has been described as ‘a delight’ (4 stars) by Sydney Morning Herald reviewer John Shand. The band’s saxophonist and composer Jeremy Rose says, ‘we

His old band was The Mint Chicks. My bass player Michael Logie was also from that band, and together we also make up another psych-pop group called Opossom. We’ve just finished a UK tour both as Opossom and as my band, so we’ve been playing a lot together in different configurations. It’s a versatile group and after this much playing it becomes quite tight and telepathic. I’m having the time of my life! Sunday at the Bangalow A&I Hall. Doors: 7pm / support start 7:30pm.

Crowdfunding is a new wave of fundraising sparking up projects and possibilities, enabling artists themselves to pass the hat around to ask for help with their projects. People are chipping in and sharing the costs, getting arts and social justice projects up and running. ‘I’m most inspired to stick at my music dream by stories people tell us about our music, about what is does for them’, explains Jessie Vintila, singer and co-songwriter of nationally acclaimed local folk/ pop outfit The Lucky Wonders. We hear some pretty powerful things, like ‘Your album got me to sleep every night when I was depressed’ and ‘Your music makes life worth living’. Our supporters are inspired to help us get our next batch of songs out there into the world, and of course they also like the rewards we give them for their support (they’re all explained on the Pozible website). Crowdfunding is a beautiful thing, because it means that a huge diversity of projects are made possible, not just the few that a record company or a government grant decides on. And by supporting a project you believe in, you become part of that project.’ The Lucky Wonders have a week left to hit their funding target to make their new album

It seems to me that if man wanted WITH STREETS OF LONDON.

This song was it is his need to just another song written in 1965 which had been neglected. In 1967 express his spirituality I had given it to a friend who got in touch to say the song was going through art. down so well that he really felt I should record it. My producer Gus Dudgeon insisted that it went on my second album and within two What do you think it was about Beatnik days of release we were notified of our first cover version. Within culture that was so weeks we knew the song had travelled around the world and revolutionary? Are certainly as far as Australia. It therefore goes without saying that a we just too cynical song that travels under its own steam is going to change the writer’s now to believe that life forever. the world can really That song has been covered by so many artists. Which version be a better place? (besides yours of course) is your favourite? At the risk of Just as all cultures interpret their surroundings, which are often upsetting the 300+ known cover versions and the thousands of common to us, all in different ways, so the Beatnik culture looked versions on YouTube, there is something about the tenderness of at what already existed and interpreted it through the medium of Sinead O’Connor’s version that I find touching. She captures the poetry, art, discussion and music in a radical alternative way that I slight naivety of the sentiment beautifully, without even trying. found totally intriguing and exciting – and I liked corduroy trousers and long hair! Is covering the ultimate form of flattery for a songwriter? Yes. How would you describe your journey as a songwriter – what do What are the songs that you enjoy covering? And what do you you see as your major triumphs and still your major struggles? look for in a song that you haven’t written? I think Bob Dylan, Looking back over the years and songs I think it’s possible to detect Randy Newman, Tom Waites, John Martyn. What I look for is the a maturity – the blank canvas presented at the beginning of a career mystery, magic, nuance and the courage to take on areas of our tends to get more complex the longer you stay writing. However I common humanity that have escaped me or that have filled me feel I am writing better songs now than I did in the early days and with wonder. to have peaked at Streets of London when I was only 22 would have negated the work that was to follow, which I feel has continued to improve. I think the major triumphs are that songs are continuously requested by people to whom the central message and music still communicate. The struggles are still the same, to be original, musical, melodic and economic with lyrical content. How have you seen the industry change for artists like yourself? Every generation, musically speaking, adopts its own criteria and one could not expect to communicate with each successive generation as they come along. It’s important that they have their own spokesmen and musicians. The industry has learned how to manipulate public taste in a way that was never there for my generation and that is why we think we had the best of it. Thankfully, music remains its own reward and there are plenty of young musicians and songwriters to pick up the torch and run with it against the prevailing wind. What advice would you give to an emerging singer-songwriter? Take up plumbing! But if the muse is insistent do not expect financial remuneration. Music and writing are their own rewards. What are the stories and pictures that you are driven to share through your music? I’d like to think that my songs speak for themselves but, when all is said and done, all that remains after manners, fashion, etc is our common humanity and this is the area that provides endless stimulus for creativity. Finish this sentence: music can’t change the world but it can… Because music affects us on so many different levels, mainly through the emotions, it can lift the spirit, whether it be to make you want to dance or think or want to do it yourself and remind you that there are others out there just like you – you are not alone. What should we expect for your show in our region? Some of the above! Sunday at the Byron Community Centre, 7pm. Tickets $55, under 16s $33.

METHOD @ THE SPHINXY Roots duo Method makes a welcome return this May with astring of shows around the Northern Rivers area. Method bridge the gap between Americana Swamp and the Celts, to end up with a unique Australian sound. These are soundscapes and songs locked firmly in a gravely groove, delivering a rhythm-driven roots experience with a lyrical heart. A new Australian alt folk, played by two master musicians with humour, passion and world-class Method. Residing at opposite ends of the state, members Bill Jacobi and Frank Corby have kept this long-distance musical relationship alive with regular bouts of touring and recording. You can catch them live at The Beach Hotel on Thursday, The Eltham Hotel on Friday and The Sphinx Rock Cafe on Sunday from 1pm.

LOVING LAVELL Personifying soul, sass and charisma, Dee Lavell might be the latest name on the Australian soul and blues scene, but she’s definitely not the new kid on the block. A seasoned performer with more than 25 years of experience on stage and in the studio in Australia and the US, Dee is releasing her new album Mama Told Me later this month. She’s at the Sheoak Shack in Fingal Head on Sunday from 4pm.

MR MANX Harry Manx has spent years fusing eastern musical traditions with the blues, switching effortlessly between conventional guitars, harmonica, and banjo and the decidedly different Mohan veena, a 20-stringed instrument invented by Manx Indian mentor Vishwa Mohan Bhatt. Manx is often referred to as the ‘Mysticssippi’ Blues Man, because of his expertise in melding both East and West music and therefore ‘creating musical short stories that wed the blues with the depth of classical Indian ragas’.

s r a t S WITH LILITH

In this dynamic and challenging period of extreme social and climatic change, many consider 2012 as humanity’s date with destiny. So what does that mean to you this week?

E ARIES: With solar flares causing intense magnetic fluctuations in human bio-electrics, this volatile week could be the cosmic equivalent of habanero chilli. Monkeys subjected to comparable fluctuations have exhibited behaviour from comatose to selfdestructive, so tread carefully, because we’re all experiencing different kinds of unfamiliar stresses. F T AURUS: Taurans have an affinity with the natural world, and when the sun’s in your sign it’s natural to spend special time in your favourite outdoor place considering what you can contribute to the planet during your stay. What seeds you’ll plant in the garden of your life… G G EMINI: What can you do for the planet? Gemini Walt Whitman suggests: Love the Earth and Sun and the animals. Have patience toward people. Re-examine all you’ve been told. Read in the open air every season of every year of your life and your very flesh shall be a poem… H CANCER: If you’re playing word association games, the word most associated with Cancerians is home. For our lifespan this planet’s our only home, so think this week about Cancerian Marshall McLuhan’s statement that there are no passengers on spaceship Earth. We are all crew.

SWAN LAKE -----------------------------------------When it premiered at Sadler’s Wells in 1995, Matthew Bourne’s triumphant reinterpretation of Swan Lake turned tradition upside down, taking the dance world by storm. Now Australian cinema audiences can watch this modern-day classic for the first time in stunning digital 3D, accompanied by state-of-the-art surround sound. A new version of this production, perhaps best known for replacing the traditional female corps de ballet with a menacing male ensemble, was filmed in 3D at Sadler’s Wells, London in 2011. The stellar cast includes the magnificent Richard Winsor as the lead Swan/Stranger, Dominic North as The Prince and Nina Goldman as The Queen. Breathtaking in its drama and intensity, filming in 3D creates an illusion of space around the dancers, drawing you onto the stage and bringing a dramatic realism to the story.

THURSDAY 3

1. If you can imagine Sandra Bullock (seen here with Bradley Cooper) as a nerdy crossword puzzle writer, you can imagine anything. All About Steve (TEN, Saturday, 9.55pm) is in the running for one of the worst romantic comedies of all time. The film was nominated for five Golden Raspberry Awards, including Worst Picture, Worst Director, Worst Actress (Bullock), Worst Screenplay and Worst Screen Couple. The film ultimately won Worst Actress and Worst Screen Couple. A good sport, Bullock accepted the Razzie for Worst Actress, giving out a copy of All About Steve to each member of the audience, promising to attend next year if they all watched to consider if it was ‘truly the worst performance’. Her effort is particularly annoying for her repeated snorting laughter, which may have led viewers to give the film only six per cent (!) on the Tomatometer. 2. From the days when romantic comedies were sweet, Jack Lemmon and Shirley Maclaine star in the 1960 hit The Apartment (ABC1, Sunday, 11pm), directed by the great Billy Wilder. It was Wilder’s follow-up to Some Like It Hot, another great comedy. The film was nominated for ten Academy Awards, and won five, including Best Picture. As usual Lemmon plays the sad loner who lusts after the elevator operator (Maclaine). Many misunderstandings ensue.

a m e n i c review During a booze- and ecstasyfuelled party at a beach resort, things go awry for the happy campers. Jeremy disappears without trace, leaving the others to wait anxiously for word of his whereabouts upon their return to Australia. Price, who co-wrote the screenplay with partner Darcy-Smith, is superb as the expectant mother whose cosy world is shattered by the revelation of her husband’s behaviour. Ironically, the longer the movie goes, the more difficult it gets to see the character of Alice, an ESL teacher with a couple of toddlers, as the type to have been on a vacation of such crass hedonism in the first place.

Wish You Were Here A dark, vaguely threatening mystery is at the heart of Kieran Darcy-Smith’s close study of domestic disintegration. The story starts with four friends – Alice (Felicity Price) and husband Dave (Joel Edgerton), Alice’s sister Steph (Teresa Palmer) and her boyfriend Jeremy (Antony Star) – on holiday in Cambodia and doing, apparently, what all young people nowadays do when set loose in South-East Asia with a lot of money and no empathy with the culture that they have come to trash.

Dave’s guileless blokiness is instantly recognisable, as is the state of emotional chaos that overwhelms both him and Alice as the truth of what happened on the fateful night emerges. More attention might have been paid to Steph, who is quickly reduced to a bit player in the drama, while the peripheral involvement of the federal police and those in an unidentified car who follow Dave looks like an afterthought. Numerous time-jumps threaten to scramble the chronology beyond comprehension, but a slow-drip exposition of events and the plot’s underpinning structure ensure that the narrative thread remains intact as tension is ratcheted up at every turn. The most compelling scenes are those shot on location in Cambodia – the climactic one, in which we find out what happened to Jim, is fantastic in its sweaty realism. Paced and edited to maximise the edgy atmospherics, there is a strange sense of ‘much ado about nothing’ provoked by the inconsequential ending. ~ John Campbell

The Avengers Movies such as this reportedly make as much money for the multiplexes through the sale of junk for punters to stuff their faces with as they do from ticket purchases. The kid next to me on ANZAC Day (what better way to commemorate warfare?) had a bucket of popcorn that was as big as his head! (When he’d finished, the cheeky little bugger covertly challenged me for the elbow rest – but he’d bitten off more than he could chew.) Beings from outer space have come to smash us inoffensive Earthlings (by golly there are a lot of meanies floating around in the universe), but Nick Fury (Samuel L Jackson) of SHIELD has mustered the combined talents of our greatest superheroes to oppose them. The evil dude is Loki (Tom Hiddleston), possibly a former member of Duran Duran, who gets hold of a mysterious substance that could possibly make him omnipotent – not that you’d know how, for it looks like a glowing Kleenex FULLY AIR-CONDITIONED

box. The film is witty, if surely not as funny as suggested by the projected laughter of those needing to proclaim that they ‘get it’, and the CGI is stupendous – you’ll love the aircraft carrier, the size of Tasmania, that turns into an invisible flying fortress, with its planes secured on deck by high-tech occies (some designs just can’t be improved on). I’m a fan of Robert Downey Jr as Tony Stark, the wisecracking Ironman (when might we see him act before something other than a green screen again?) and Mark Ruffalo, who is terrifically deadpan as the Hulk, but I didn’t like Scarlett Johansson (Black Widow) with red hair. However, impressive though the production qualities are (and they’d want to be for $220 million), you can’t make yourself like something simply because it’s well done. Only an unreconstructed nay-sayer would carp that Hollywood stoops to conquer by giving the mob what it wants, but for mine, the entire Marvel genre is as boring as. I’d prefer any day to see the Avengers come in the form of John Steed and Emma Peel. ~ John Campbell

The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel What a joy… A disparate group of discouraged, jaded codgers in grey, stodgy England arrive at the awful truth that they have irrevocably entered their autumnal years. But need those years necessarily be ‘declining’? In India, an exuberant if not terribly businesslike young entrepreneur, Sonny (Dev Patel), has hit upon the idea of converting a crumbling Rajasthani palace into a retirement home for cashedup foreigners – ‘there are many countries,’ he explains with brutal innocence, ‘that don’t like old people.’ Director John Madden spares us the sweat and grime of Calcutta and the grim clutter of the twenty-first century Indian metropolis, but he also sensibly averts the yellow brick road of ‘cute and quirky’ – though Madden wants to warm the heart, this is no sanitised, patronising travelogue. Unprepared they may be, but the characters involved will be changed in some way by their new surrounds – ‘all of life is here’, Graham (Tom Wilkinson), a lawyer who grew up in India, tells the xenophobic Jean (Penelope Wilton). Graham, gay and guilt ridden, is seeking out a lost lover; Evelyn (Judi Dench) is trying to find her feet following the death of her husband of four decades; randy Norman (Ronald Pickup) is after a bit of boudoir action; Muriel (Maggie Smith) has made the trip to get a cheap hip replacement; Madge (Celia Imre) is the gold-digger, while

<echowebsection=cinema>

Douglas (Bill Nighy) hopes for something better than the unsatisfactory options left to him and wife Muriel at the end of his civil service career. Along with a flawless cast, the colour, vibrancy and chaotic calm of India is irresistible – a particularly beautiful scene has Sonny talking with his girlfriend on the wall of an ancient well as boys dive

into its cool depths. So easily the film might have bogged itself in retro-cheesiness and shallow charm, but the message is positive, the view evolutionary – ‘the past will not be regained, for all our longing’, Evelyn observes. It is not so common to find your expectations of a movie met in every way – mine were with this. ~ John Campbell

The storm clouds were dumping plenty of rain and the faithful were in full battle cry for another Mullumbimby Moonshiners v Byron Bay Derby. To add some spice to this edition, former Moonshiners Wally Andrews and Nathan Nichols were lining up in the Bay’s blue and white. There was some good-hearted ribbing and genuine handshakes to set the scene for what was a hardhitting but fair game played in the best spirit. Byron dominated possession in the first half with a dominant forward pack setting up plenty of attacks and line breaks. The Moonshiners didn’t shirk the issue and kept genuine try-scoring opportunities to a minimum. The sure-booted Nathan Nicholls slotted two penalties to give Byron a 6–zip half-time lead. Byron’s dominance in the scrum and breakdown continued.

son Lewis was playing the Artful Dodger extricating the pill from an under-the-pump Mullum pack. Ten minutes into the second half an overlap saw Byron cross the line in the corner. They had a chance to close the game out with another penalty opportunity but missed wide. Led by Hooker, battering ram, break down beaver and Shiners’ best on ground Seymour Walters, the Green and Golds rallied late. The Mullum fitness regime was shining through as Byron went on the back foot for most of the final 20 minutes. Line breaks by Teale Pyne and Lachlan Stubbings looked promising but couldn’t deliver the bikkies. Troy Erwin was again impressive in the second row and the old dogs Assassin, Sati and Pottsy showed great leadership. When the final hooter sounded the score was 11–0 for a deserved Byron victory. For the Moonshiners it was a solid performance against a very talented opposition with

Half a million for environmental restoration MP for Ballina Don Page and the Minister for the Environment, Robyn Parker, have announced $513,542 for five environmental restoration and rehabilitation projects in the Ballina electorate. The funds had been allocated from the NSW government’s Environmental Trust, an independent statutory body established to undertake projects that enhance the environment of NSW. The amount includes $100,000 already reported by Echonetdaily last week as go-

ing to Big Scrub Landcare for a project to rehabilitate endangered lowland subtropical rainforest sites identified in the Border Ranges Rainforest Biodiversity Management Plan. ‘Brunswick Valley Landcare has been allocated $99,715 for a project to restore endangered ecological communities along the Brunswick River and its tributaries,’ Mr Page said. And Jali Local Aboriginal Land Council has been awarded two grants, both of $100,000. ‘One grant will be used to

restore and manage 815ha of high-conservation value vegetation on Jali lands around Wardell. The other will go to restoring and protecting 290ha of high-conservation value heath and wetland at Seven Mile Beach, north of Lennox Head,’ he said. Byron Shire Council will receive $98,844 to restore and manage urban bushland at 21 sites covering 39.5ha. The sites have high-conservation value vegetation and create habitat and connectivity for native plants and animals in the ur-

Comprehensively covering the Far North Coast

Property industry confidence lifts, says study The Property Council of Australia-ANZ Property Industry Confidence Survey shows sentiment rose from an index score of 107 to 113 for the June quarter, coinciding with a less uncertain outlook for the global economy. The survey polled more than 2300 professionals from the property and construction sector in all states and territories for their forward-looking views. ‘Overall the industry is more confident as acute concerns over global economic conditions ease,’ says Property Council chief executive, Peter Verwer. ‘Respondents are feeling less buffeted than in previous quarters, where the storm in commodity prices, global economic insecurity and domestic political uncertainty contributed to negative sentiment. ‘However regional disparity has become starker, with confidence in the resource-rich states pulling further ahead, Victoria noticeably flat and Tasmania declining further.� ‘More than half the quantifiable lift in sentiment is attributed to three states – Western Australia, the Northern Territory and Queensland – despite the fact these states account for less than a third of the nation’s population.’ ANZ chief economist, Warren Hogan, says while Australia’s mining and engineering-construction sectors boom, retail spending,

non-mining-related manufacturing, public services and tourism will remain under pressure. ‘The near-term risks to official interest rates remain skewed to the downside and will be determined largely by inflation expectations and the labour market,’ Mr Hogan says. Key findings for the Property Council-ANZ Property Industry Confidence Survey are: 1. Uplift in overall confidence: the survey confidence index rose from 107 for the March quarter to 113 for the June quarter. 2. Resource states forge ahead – NT, WA and Qld: the biggest positive gains were felt in the resource-rich states, now streets ahead of national confidence levels. 3. Mid-pack lifting – NSW, SA and ACT: NSW sentiment took a significant step up this quarter after a slight drop in the previous survey, SA confidence rose again, and the ACT shifted from negative to positive sentiment in this survey. 4. Red flag states – Victoria and Tasmania: these were the only states to post a decline in overall confidence. Tasmania slid dramatically from 85 to 73 on the Index, while Victoria was noticeably flat at 96 (a position of 100 is considered neutral on the Index). 5. More confidence in obtaining funding: while sentiment

about securing debt finance is still negative overall, respondents are now less pessimistic. Expectations for debt finance availability shifted from -15.5 on the index to -4.9. 6. Residential prices stabilising: confidence in house price growth has risen for the second consecutive quarter and is now almost neutral on the Index. Queensland and the ACT have shifted from a negative outlook to positive. 7. Shopping centres bucking the trend: confidence in 12-month capital growth is up or stable in all sectors, with the exception of shopping centres. The negative sentiment here did

not translate into a negative view on retail construction activity, which is still positive. 8. Work to increase, but hiring intentions not as strong: with the exception of Tasmania, survey respondents anticipate their own future work levels will increase but are becoming less positive about their own hiring intentions. 9. State governments must do better: half of the respondents disagreed with the proposition that their state or territory government was doing a good job in planning and managing growth, and only 17 percent agreed. Honourable mentions go to the WA and NT governments for their more positive scores.

Aunty ABC outdid herself last Thursday night when she ran a doco (www.abc.net.au/ tv/changeyourmind) tracing a country-spanning debate between Australian Youth Climate Coalition (http://aycc. org.au) founder Anna Rose and sceptic Libs powerbroker and former senator Nick Minchin, followed by a Q&A panel on the issue of climate change. Particularly intriguing were the comments from social researchers, explaining how humans tend to zone out when faced with fears of a global nature. The transcript of the Q&A is supposed to be available this Tuesday at www. abc.net.au/tv/qanda. Q Q Q Q
